  • Apple Vision Pro customers face a 25-minute in-store sales pitch

    eriamjheriamjh
    This is a way of reducing the returns from people who "have no idea" how it is supposed to work.

    How long before refurbed VPs are available?

    I'll continue to reserve judgement for that killer app I can't live without.

  • Apple Vision Pro launch quantities rumored to be far tighter than previously estimated

    Steve Jobs would  say people do not know what they want because they don’t think outside of their own experiences.  I think Henry Ford said if you asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.  He sold them a car. 

    I doubt Apple is “jumping on the AR bandwagon” spending 5 to 7 years developing this product for it to have no new real purpose.  

    I’ll reserve my judgement until I have reviewed the YT whore reviews of what they do with it.  Then I will mentally do acrobatics trying to justify if I want to do those same things for the cost of 175 lunches out with a nice tip (plus tax and the prescription fees).

    For the prescription glasses, I assume you'd need to order a different prescription if you wear progressives.

    My progressive prescription has two sets of values, one for the "main" prescription, and one for the reading prescription (I assume there is some algorithm to produce the gradient), but I expect most people are going to want the "main", possibly modified by some factor having to do with the distance actually being focused, as opposed to the apparent distance.  My eye doctor explained it to me once, but I'm not sure I understood everything he said.
    Not an optometrist, but I’ve worn glasses and contacts all my life.    You won’t use the “main” (or distance) prescription for VP.  You’ll be getting the “near” prescription since the focusing surface of the display will be up close.   There will be no “progressive” prescription, bifocal, or trifocal for VP.   There will be only one and it will be up close or near, essentially “readers”.   

    I can’t focus on objects closer than 15cm from my eyes because I have, like most over 40, Presbyopia.   Your eyeballs harden/lose elasticity as you age, and your eye muscles that pull on your eyeballs to adjust focus can’t distort your eyes to focus closely.   Simple lenses correct this, but only for close vision.   There is no near or far in VP because the image is on a display, not 20cm or 100m from your face.   It’s all up close.  

    That’s all you’ll need for VP.    It’s not rocket science.

  • The best Apple Vision Pro productivity apps at launch

    eriamjheriamjh
    I’m really not impressed with PCalc, OmniPlan, chat,  movie watching on VP, or any other app that just is gonna float in front of me on a. Ritual iPad.   I have an iPad for that.   

    It’s a spatial computing device.   We need spatial computing apps (3D).   We need Iron Man’s UI for whatever the heck he does.   

    New fangled 3D design app?  Video game environments that surround you?  

    Something to take advantage of the huge surround canvas (or 180 degrees of it).   Apple said not to use the terms AR or VR to its developers, but why am I wearing goggles if I can’t get up and walk around something?

    Without a new killer app, it will be essentially useless.   No one wants to relearn how to do the same thing on a different tool.   They want a new way to do something new.  

    Home designer/ Interior decorator apps?   Just throwing ideas out.  I know nothing.
